Other times, it may be because their clubs are poorly fit. The reason this is important is because the more twisted the clubface is at address, the more likely one side would dig into the ground at impact. You will often get out of your forward swing what you put into your backswing. If your backswing is a straight line back that tends to go toward the sky and is just a lifted motion, all you will have is straight down, which tends to get stuck.
It reminds me of the letter V. Straight back and up equals straight down and dig. It is important to understand that your backswing is circular in nature and will help to avoid this sharp digging motion. One of the most efficient ways that I have seen to achieve this is to keep your underarms relatively close to your body as you make your backswing.
This will help your upper body to rotate as it faces away from your target, creating a more shallow swing that will make it so much easier to brush the grass. If when you set up you have an extreme forward press or shaft lean, this can easily take the club off of its bottom and have only the sharp corner of the leading edge contacting the ground, causing it to dig and get stuck.
One of my favorite ways to minimize this is to hit golf balls from a low tee with your feet together. It is much more intuitive to keep your club more neutral, or straight up and down where the handle is in line with the head with your feet together. Pushing the handle forward would tend to throw your balance off with your feet together and that is why you are less likely to want to do this.
Once your setup is good, speed and momentum are your friend. I often add speed to good swings with my students. I tell them when I am adding speed and momentum that is a vote of confidence that they are doing really well.
To remedy the problem, concentrate on keeping lower-body movements out of the swing equation. During the downswing, players sometimes have the tendency to slide their head forward. This causes the upper body to slide forward, impeding a proper recoil. It also prevents the player from concentrating on watching the club strike the ball.
The head must stay behind the ball on every shot. When the leading arm left arm for right-handed players isn't straight, it causes a short backswing and prevents the upper body from making the proper coil. Keep the left arm straight, but not tense, and lead the body into the shot with the head and hips behind the ball. Dipping the back shoulder during the downswing causes the body and hands to scoop at the ball commonly called a "chili dip".

The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special. The important thing is to do it less often.
A great way to start the process is by understanding why you hit behind the ball and what you can do to correct it. Here are 3 reasons and fixes for why you hit it fat:. Tip 1: Center of the Swing Moves. S taying centered during the swing is a big issue for a lot of golfers.
If your weight moves laterally away from the target on the backswing, the center of your swing moves. The problem with this is that the golf ball does not move with you.
A good way to stay centered is to get more weight on your front foot at address. The centrifugal force of the golf swing naturally tries to pull your weight away from the target. Setting a little more weight forward counteracts this natural tendency. Start with pitch shots and wedge shots and feel the weight on the front foot. After getting the hang of it with the shorter shots, try it with a bigger swing. If it feels strange go back to the shorter swings and gradually work your way up.
